Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumourous which occurs in childhood. The most important factors which influence possible cure of patients with a retinoblastoma are early detection of the disease, correct diagnosis and adequate therapy. In the submitted case-record the authors provide evidence of the importance of cytological examination of cerebrospinal fluid which is important in retinoblastoma in particular for the follow-up of treatment. Cytological examination of cerebrospinal fluid in this type of tumour is very reliable and can reveal infiltration of tumour cells into the CNS much sooner than imaging methods.
